I don't know how you can't buy that it's real. I mean it could theoretically be faked, but WeeBitObsessed has a good history. Other news outlets are picking up the story. The pictures are pretty flawless and clear. Unless you are one of those people that don't believe we've been to the moon unless you've actually taken the trip yourself, you have to say that this has to be the real thing. Sure nothing is official until it's official, but I've never seen this much evidence turn out to be wrong.

First off, thanks to WeeBit for posting these pics.

Secondly, I will buy it as soon as it is available for my carrier.

Lastly, I was surprised to see that the SD slot is still right next to the antenna, that will make some SD/IO products unusable without an extension of some kind.

I return from a volleyball game to find this insanity going on...thanks much WeeBit!!!

Hey guys, lighten up. I'm just injecting a little reality check here. It's important to remember that this could merely be a trial balloon of some sort to gauge responses and to get everyone's underwear wet .

Nothing is final until the PalmOne lady officially speaks.

One more request WeeBit. Can you please post some pics with the PDA apps screen showing? Just greedy I guess...

Up until last week I was trying to hold out for the 650; however, I broke down and bought the 600. I am so excited it should be here tomorrow. I called the Sprint Business Account Center and the guy that I talked to said it wasn't scheduled to come out now until November - and I have no idea how reliable that is so don't flame me... I'll put the disclaimer in now. Although I am very excited for the 650 and will probably buy it in the next 6 months I am so glad I went ahead and bought the 600.

I think that will be the most we get for abit

i'm posting from a low-res Treo :-( so I can't see the pics very well, but can you tell if the headset plug is the same? I sure hope there is a more universal plug because I hate the adapter thing. thanks.

Felipe

back to the pictures.

from the top view, the antenna look fatter. it takes up the whole thickness of the "ace".

the sd slot looks recessed, but with no fake sd slot? I never had an issue of the sd card popping out and i keep it in my front pant pocket.

no power button. I never used it anyway, but how will you turn off wireless mode? I fear it will be a long hold on the 4th hard button. I guess i will need another way to launch clock pop5. i'll deal.

no plastic thingies to cover the screws, or were they lost already? maybe palm got tired of getting calls for replacements.

oh yeah, this model has the bulge.

I haven't read anyone else mention this so perhaps it's just me but... Wassup with the keyboard and the change of key shapes?!?! The keys on the Treo 600 are UNIQUE which translates into competitive advantage (it's a defining signature of the Treo line) - change for change sake is just dumb design... bring back the old keys please (albeit with backlighting)... at the very least keep the overall shape and flatten them if you want P1...

Cheers, W.

honestly the more i looked at these pics and the specs... the more i thought to myself that this treo came out first and then was locked in a safe. then the finance and marketing minded people started to handicap the Treo backwards so that people would buy this one a year later.

"ok lets take the home and menu buttons and just put it in the most inconvenient spot... thats right.. and also lets use a really low rez screen that you only find in low end pdas...um what else how bout we restrict the voltage to the SD slot to disable any chance of bluetooth and yes i like the idea of making the battery unremovable. All we need to do now is to get rid of these talk/end buttons, throw in a horrendous camera and we got our "early adopter" model ready to go! Excellent Johnson!"

VikingBrad

Going back to the buttons on the left side, I would be guessing the top larger one is the volume up/down rocker but the one below is not a Push-To-Talk but Camera capture button. Otherwise to take a self portrait using the small mirror on the back you would have to push the center dial button which is silly so I am guessing they moved it to the side.

If Viking Brad is right, then where would the PTT go. Weebit says PTT is in there, so it has to be some button. We have to believe him that PTT is there because he's the only real source we have.

I'd rather it be voice record or PTT because I don't think I'd take that many pictures of myself.

VikingBrad

Hey I'm only guessing don't quote me!

If Weebit says it has PTT then I guess it needs a PTT button. Just thought it would be weird to take a photo using the center dial pad button

Cheers
VikingBrad

dutchtrumpet

there's already a hack to use volume buttons to take pics for the treo 600, maybe it's built in in the new one.
